Ning Yunshu gave a shallow smile that was like the spring wind in winter. It was warm and warm. "You're more open-minded than I'd thought."

Ye Jinxiu was stunned for a moment before she curled her lips and said indifferently, "So what if you're not open-minded?"

"I can't choose my birth, but I can at least choose my future."

She was forced to get into the Ye Family, but she could choose not to get into this family. If the Ye Family was so small, then what would happen to the huge palace?

Ye Jinxiu didn't dare to imagine it, nor could she.

This was the main reason why she didn't like it. It was like a huge birdcage, resplendent and resplendent, yet full of gold and jade. Beneath the bustling surface was a pool of stagnant water that was so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen.

Who knew how many undead were trapped inside.

Ning Yunyin suddenly stopped and lowered her head to hold Ye Jinsu's head, giving her a light kiss on the forehead. It was a very simple action, without any malice in it. Ning Yunyin gave a shallow taste of it. "I thought you'd need me, but it seems like you don't need me now."

His voice was very light, sounding somewhat like he was laughing at himself, but it was also extremely light in tone, making it hard to tell if he was actually laughing at himself.

"You always surprise me. When I first saw you, you were on the mountain, and now." Ning Yunyin couldn't help thinking back to when she was on the mountain, if she hadn't really found him.

Perhaps Ye Jinsu had the ability to walk out of that bandit's nest.

But he would still go and save her, regardless of whether she needed it or not. In the past, he thought that Ye Jinxiu was too stubborn. Perhaps she should learn to be more gentle and rely on herself.

But now he didn't think so.

Ning Yunyun was exceptionally talkative today.

Ye Jinxiu stood there in a daze while he held her. As she heard Ning Yunyin's shallow voice resounding in her ear, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of a peculiar emotion from it. She grabbed Ning Yunyin's arm and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Yunyin didn't say a word. She only smiled and let go of Ye Jinsu. "I just figured out a few things."

Ye Jinsu stared at him with suspicion in her eyes. However, Ning Yunyin was also looking at her honestly, her eyes clear and bright. Ye Jinshu opened his mouth but in the end, he did not say anything. He only opened his mouth and said, "Since there's nothing wrong …" "Then I'll head back to the courtyard first."

When she turned around, Ye Jinsu couldn't help but place her hand on her waist and the flexible sword on her waist.

Xiao Hong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, noticed Ye Jinsu's expression and asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss, what did the Prince say?"

Ye Jinsu was silent for a moment before she frowned slightly and turned around to look at Ning Yun's courtyard. Ning Yunyin was no longer standing there. Ye Jinxiu turned and left, saying, "It's nothing …"

She sensed something in her heart, but she did not want to confirm it.

That would drag her into an abyss.

This method was very dangerous, but at the moment, she believed in Ning Yunyin.

Ye Jinsu returned to the yard silently.

Ning Yunyin stood in the room, her expression heavy as she thought back to what she had said to the Grand Princess in the palace today.

Due to the accident at court, the emperor's body that was slightly better suddenly became more serious. The emperor didn't come early to court at all, and told all the officials to disperse long ago. The reason he had stayed at the palace for so long was because he had visited the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess invited him into the hall. She then asked, "For her sake, you can't even let me into your mansion now, right?"

When the Grand Princess heard that Ning Yunxiao had left Ye Jinsu in your mansion, she was so angry that she left the palace to find Ning Yunxiao. However, before she could leave the palace, she was already ruined by Ning Yunyin and was not allowed to enter the estate.

It was all to protect Ye Jinsu.

Just thinking about it infuriated the Grand Princess.

"Elder sister, you're overthinking it. It's just that she's currently recuperating from her injuries. Too many people won't be able to disturb her." Ning Yunyin said without batting an eyelid.

Too many people disturbing the Grand Princess. Ning Yunyin knew that if the Grand Princess saw Ye Jinsu, she wouldn't have any good words to say, so she decided to stop her from seeing her.

The Grand Princess had been holding herself back for a day or two, but it had been so many days. Ning Yunyin still had her high profile as she sent Imperial Physician Bai to the estate time and time again.

"How long do you want her to stay in your house? You guys aren't married yet, and she has no name nor share in it. So what if she's staying in your mansion? "

"Since you said that you won't marry her, doing so will ruin her reputation!"

Ning Yunyin's expression did not change. It was as if she had already thought of this. She indifferently said, "This matter won't be spread out. Naturally, it won't tarnish her reputation."

"You!" The Grand Princess was so angry that she couldn't speak. Why did Ning Yunyin like to pretend to be ignorant when she met Ye Jinsu?

Did she really care about Ye Jinsu's reputation? She cared about Ning Yunyin!

Ning Yunyin raised her head and looked at her. It was only then that the Grand Princess noticed the deep look in her eyes, the faint movement of a dark current. She then spoke, "Imperial Father has noticed her."

The Grand Princess was stunned, her expression frozen in place.

"Are you worried that royal father will attack her?" The Grand Princess looked at Ning Yunyin with a grave expression.

Ning Yunyin didn't say anything, but it was clear that she had this intention.

"Isn't that still as high profile as you!" The Grand Princess was furious, she slapped the table and said, "Let's set fire to the mountain and slaughter all of them in one night. You sure are capable!"

"Even if royal father were to attack her, he would be after you. Are you still worried about her?" The Grand Princess looked at Ning Yunyin with both puzzlement and anger, as if she hated her for failing to meet expectations.

Ning Yunyin wasn't surprised by the Grand Princess's behavior. In her eyes, what was important was herself and her two children. She didn't even care about Prince Consort.

Prince Consort Ma was a general of the imperial court. He had married the Grand Princess before even meeting her. On the second day of their marriage, Prince Consort went to the battlefield. In the five years of marriage, the two of them had not seen each other for more than three months. Afterwards, the Prince Consort had died in battle, and the Grand Princess had brought her two children back to the palace. From start to finish, no grief could be seen.

She didn't understand these unruly feelings between a girl and a girl, but she felt that Ning Yunyin had simply gone mad.

Ever since she met Ye Jinsu, Ning Yunyin had become more and more unfamiliar with her. The Eldest Princess could only blame everything on Ye Jinsu, it was all this woman's fault.

Ning Yunyin, however, understood the bitterness in her words. "I won't let this kind of thing happen."

She wanted a peaceful world, and he would never let anyone disturb her.

When the Grand Princess saw him act this way again, she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and down. "How long can you keep her in your residence like this for?"

"You are obviously going against royal father!"

"But what we're doing now is already going against royal father, isn't it?" Ning Yunyin asked. If it was only a rumor before, then now that he really did make a move, the Emperor could not possibly still be indifferent.

Sooner or later, this was the only step.
